Quick blueberry oat muffins to start off the day or pack into a lunch, full of healthy whole grain oats and berries.

Even if you’re a minimalist when it comes to baking, you probably have all the ingredients on hand to bake a quick batch of these blueberry oat muffins.

They’re dairy-free friendly and loaded with healthy berries and whole grain oats.

I’m personally more of a savory breakfast eater, but sometimes I’ll wake up and crave something warm and fruity.

That usually means a bowl of oatmeal or a batch of these muffins, which don’t require much fussing to make.

Not to say that every once in a while a jumbo bakery-style blueberry streusel muffin is out of the question – of course not!

But when you’re in the mood for a wholesome whole grain muffin, this is a great recipe to save.

Blueberry oat muffins are not too sweet.

The sparkling flakes of turbinado sugar sprinkled on top of the muffins add crunch and just a touch of sweetness.

The recipe couldn’t be easier. If you have one bowl and a mixing spoon you’ll be good to go!

By the time the house wakes up, these blueberry muffins will be warm from the oven and ready to eat.
